As beautiful as Florence and Milan are, there’s an inevitable few admin headaches travelling through any Italian city in the summer: the crowds are bustling, the heat is intense, and the unexpected issues are, ultimately, part of being in Italy. Consider it the local tax on the laid-back lifestyle. But 90 minutes from Milan on the autostrada and all of that feels forgotten, as the stunning region of Biella and its beautiful green and brick tones unfold in the shadows of the snow-capped alps. For centuries, this far-north region has been the beating heart of Italian luxury milling, setting the benchmark for quality and innovation in how suiting cloths can look, last and feel better. With one foot in small-town Italian life and another in the most expensive, luxurious and esteemed brands and stores in the world, these mills marry old-world heritage with cutting edge technology. Here, iconic mills like Loro Piana, VBC, Zegna and Drago do their real work, far from fashion shows and social media agencies, ensuring their base product–the cloth–is as remarkable as possible. We can’t wait to share some of the stories of this region, where many of our most beloved fabrics are brought to life, and the ways they are using Australian Merino wool in the craft of milling, a purpose this region and the families living in it have been perfecting over generations and centuries.

Reflecting on my recent meeting with Laudomia Pucci , the gracious daughter of the legendary designer EMILIO PUCCI, I am reminded of the profound impact that heritage and personal narratives have in the luxury fashion industry. Our meeting was not just an exchange of pleasantries but a glimpse into the soul of a brand that has effortlessly woven the vibrancy of color, innovation, and tradition into the fabric of fashion history. Her warmth and the depth of her commitment to her father's legacy were palpable, inspiring a deeper appreciation for the nuanced world of luxury fashion. In the wake of #lvmh Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton acquiring full ownership of #EmilioPucci, Laudomia's role has evolved to focus on curating the archives and promoting the heritage of her father's brand. This shift is emblematic of a broader trend in the luxury sector towards experiential luxury—a realm where the value is placed not just on the tangible product but on the experience and stories that come with it. Through her work, Laudomia is pioneering a space where history, creativity, and fashion converge in a narrative that resonates with contemporary audiences seeking depth and authenticity in their luxury encounters. The Emilio Pucci Heritage Hub, nestled within the historical Palazzo Pucci, is a testament to this vision. Transforming this ancestral space into a living museum, Laudomia has created an immersive world where every corner tells a story, every fabric holds a memory, and every visit offers a unique experience. This approach to luxury, where heritage and innovation meet, provides a blueprint for how brands can connect with consumers on a more meaningful level. As a professional in the luxury industry, my conversation with Laudomia reinforced the belief that the future of luxury lies in creating experiences that engage, inspire, and resonate on a personal level. The PUCCI brand's journey under her guidance illustrates how integrating heritage with contemporary luxury can create a rich, multifaceted narrative that appeals to today's discerning consumers. In an era where the authenticity and uniqueness of the luxury experience are paramount, the story of Emilio Pucci, as curated by Laudomia, offers valuable insights into how brands can navigate the evolving landscape of luxury fashion with grace, innovation, and a deep respect for their roots. #luxury #fashion #experiential #legacy
